Our mission is to proclaim the Gospel; to teach and share our faith; and to show the love of God to all through our daily lives. May 24, 2015 ~ Pentecost Sunday A SIGNIFICANT DAY And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were (Acts 2:2). The Holy Spirit s arrival on that first Pentecost was signaled by a rush of wind. We all know what it s like when our windows are open just as a summer storm rises up. Curtains fly, papers become airborne, house plants shudder, dust is scattered. A rush of wind disrupts the orderliness of our home. The coming of the Holy Spirit, as celebrated each year at Pentecost, can also disrupt ways that have become comfortable and orderly. The Church always needs Pentecost. We need the breath of God s Spirit to blow away any complacency or malaise that has settled into our faith. Jesus breathes on his disciples and they receive the Holy Spirit. With that reception comes the power to share the Good News of salvation. Today, this is no less true for us. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

4 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Marriage is ideally a parish event today, but in the first three centuries of the church s history, it was a household celebration guided by civil law and pagan customs. Changes happened quickly after the Peace of Constantine in 312, and the fresh air after long persecution brought some creativity. The speech that the father of the groom s family gave before dinner or the veiling or crowning of the bride (or even the spouse s arrival at the honeymoon suite) attracted a prayer of blessing. With amazing rapidity, worship was propelled out of the intimate setting of house churches to large public gathering spaces, and some parts of the marriage ceremony began to migrate with the growing community to the new spaces. In Rome, the veiling of the bride with the customary daily headgear of a married woman became the central liturgical act, accompanied by a biblical prayer for her integrity and fruitfulness. There were no vows as such (just as there are no vows to this day in the Orthodox marriage rite). In the liturgy, after hearing John s Gospel account of the wedding at Cana, the bride was veiled and blessed, and the priest gave the kiss of peace to the husband, who then gave it to his bride. The liturgy of Rome traveled far, and everywhere it went, marriage became a church celebration. -Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Liturgical Roles (Weekdays) Lectors Mon.
